Chapter 177 What Are You Afraid of?
Chapter 177 What are you afraid of?
Qian Xiangyang thought for a while and said, "Is this okay? When the tickets are checked later, I will let you in first."
"When the train comes, I will be responsible for sending Susie and Uncle Liao to the train."
He looked at Qiao Mu and Zhu Zhicheng, "I'll see if there's any way to do it later. If it doesn't work, you two can get on the bus yourself and see where the ticket checking is looser, or climb in through the window."
Qiao Mu and Zhu Zhicheng both nodded. They were not worried at all. As long as they could enter the platform, it would not be difficult to get on the train.
A few people sat in the waiting hall for a while, and Qian Xiangyang came over again. He gave Zhu Zhicheng and Qiao Mu two tickets.
Susie took a closer look and saw that it was a waste ticket with a cut opening.
Qian Xiangyang chuckled, "Pinch the opening when you take it, and sneak in when there are many people."
"There are quite a few people taking this train today. It depends on whether you are smart or not."
Susie smiled and said: "I think this method will work."
When getting on the train, the conductor will only casually look at the ticket in the passenger's hand. After all, the ticket has been checked once when entering the station, and the ticket has to be checked again when leaving the station.
They waited for a while and saw Qian Xiangyang checking tickets at the ticket gate. They all lined up and followed him in.
The bus bound for the capital would not arrive for more than an hour, and Liu Zi was not there. Su Qian was planning to get a chair somewhere for Uncle Liao to sit on when she saw Qiao Mu opening her travel bag and taking out a small folded bamboo stool and placing it on the ground.
Qiao Mu originally brought this small stool to Su Qian, but now he also discovered that the stool can only be used by Uncle Liao.
Susie helped Uncle Liao sit down, and several young people walked around inside.
When the train arrived, Qian Xiangyang successfully put Su Qian and Uncle Liao on the train.
After getting on the car, there were people standing in the aisle, but not too many. Susie and Uncle Liao walked forward a few cars and saw that there was no one at the junction of the cars. She quickly took out a small bench and
"Uncle Liao, please sit down."
Uncle Liao didn't show any restraint and slowly sat down while holding on to the wall.
Not long after, Qiao Mu and Zhu Zhicheng came over.
Susie asked in a low voice: "How did you get up here?"
Zhu Zhicheng smiled and said, "The tickets your friend gave us are still valid. The flight attendant took one look at them and let us get on the bus."
Zhu Zhicheng looked around, "I'm lucky today. There aren't many people on the bus, so we can squeeze in and sleep here tonight."
He put down his bedroll and said to Susie: "You sit on this, it's very tiring to stand."
Susie smiled and said, "Thank you, Brother Zhu." She slowly sat down. The bedroll was soft and comfortable against the car wall.
Uncle Liao kicked the bedroll he had brought with him and said, "Qiao Mu, Zhicheng, you two should also sit down. The road is still long and it won't be bearable to stand for a long time."
Qiao Mu didn't sit down, but said to several people: "I'll go to the front and have a look, and I'll come back later."
Qiao Mu was gone for a long time and didn't even come back during lunch time.
Susie wasn't too worried at first. After all, there were so many people on the train and it was broad daylight, so it was unlikely that anything would happen.
But after lunch, seeing that Qiaomu had been gone for several hours, Susie still felt uneasy. She said to Uncle Liao and Zhu Zhicheng, "I'm going to go check on Qiaomu. I've been away for so long, it's time to come back."
Zhu Zhicheng said: "Don't go, I'll look for you."
He stood up and was about to leave when he saw Qiao Mu squeezing in from the car in front.
Qiao Mu came over and said, "Put your bedroll on your back and follow me."
Susie was startled, "Where are you going?"
Qiao Mu said: "I got three sleeper tickets, let's go to the sleeper car."
Susie's face was full of surprise, "Have you been here for so long to get a sleeper ticket?"
Qiao Mu nodded, "Passengers who buy sleeper tickets are not necessarily all going to the capital. Some will get off the train along the way, and the sleeper will be available. I was guarding the train conductor over there just now. If there is an available berth, I will buy it."
One, when I arrived at the two major stations, there were a total of three sleeper berths available, so I bought three."
"There should be more in a while. I'm afraid you'll be worried, so I'll come over and say it first."
"But since we have three berths, we don't have to panic. If we really can't buy them, Brother Zhu and I can share a berth tonight."
Zhu Zhicheng said hurriedly: "No, three sleeping berths are enough. I brought my bedding, so I can just sleep here."
Qiao Mu knew that Zhu Zhicheng was reluctant to spend money, "That's okay, but we'd better go to the sleeper car together. There are fewer people there and there is room on the floor."
Everyone put on their bedding and luggage and followed Qiao Mu to the sleeper car.
The further you go that way, the fewer people are in the corridor and the cleaner the ground becomes.
When they arrived at the sixth carriage, Qiao Mu took out a sleeper sign and said, "This carriage has one berth, which is the lower berth."
Uncle Liao said: "Then if I live here, my legs can't climb up to the upper bunk."
Zhu Zhicheng saw a seat next to him, "Then I'll sit here. Uncle Liao and I are together. It's convenient for us to take care of each other when we have something to do."
Uncle Liao smiled at him. Zhu Zhicheng had lived in the village for seven years and he knew him. However, he had never had any dealings with him in the past. After contacting him this time, he realized that this young man was a kind person.
Zhu Zhicheng was actually worried that his legs were inconvenient, so he stayed here to take care of him.
Susie nodded, "That's fine."
Arriving at the fifth carriage, Qiao Mu found two bunks connected up and down, "It's over here. Do you want to sleep on the bottom or on the top?"
Susie said: "I'll sleep down there."
Qiao Mu helped Susie put the suitcase, and then Susie asked, "Have you had lunch?"
Qiao Mu paused, "I'm not hungry."
Su Qian said angrily: "It's already past two o'clock. I only ate two sweet potatoes in the morning. How can I not be hungry?"
She stood up and said, "Let's go to the dining car."
The aisle was very narrow, and Susie was walking in front of Qiao Mu, but Qiao Mu caught up with her and stood shoulder to shoulder with her, then grabbed her hand and stuffed it into his military coat pocket.
Su Qian blushed, looked around, and whispered: "Don't do this, it won't look good to others."
Qiao Mu's expression remained unchanged, his heart not beating. "What are you afraid of? No one here knows us. We don't care what others think."
When Su Qian thought about it, Qiao Mu's words seemed to make sense. On this train, no one knew anyone else. Everyone just met each other by chance. As soon as the train arrived at the station, they all disappeared into the vast sea of people.
After thinking this way, she felt calm. Although her face was still a little red, the hand in Qiao Mu's pocket obediently let him hold it.
Qiao Mu turned to look at Susie and held her hand tighter.
It was rare for Susie to be so obedient, she was so cute. If there weren't so many people here, he would have really wanted to hold her in his arms.
When the two of them arrived at the dining car, the steward said that it was past meal time and they could not order food.
Susie saw that there were white flour cakes on the shelf and bought three. She also bought a bottle of soy milk for Qiao Mu.
Qiao Mu sat in the dining car and ate the cake, then held Susie's hand and returned to the carriage.
After returning to the carriage, Qiao Mu couldn't bear to let go of Susie, so he pulled her to stand in the aisle and look at the scenery outside the window.
